I get 500-550 on average '' to fill the car up i pay £60 and my commute is all A roads with a couple of duel carriageways and my average is 47-48 mpg at present. I also have a Revo remap.

Well after looking at a handful of VR'S ,i finally found my ideal car a Octavia VRS LTD Edition 170 CR. Love the colour and everything about it'' i was not to sure of the wheels at first but i like them now!! i think when i replace those stock springs and put some nice subtle tints on the rear quarters and a good remap'' the car will be even better. I have had some high powered petrol cars but i wanted a good mix of good fuel economy aswell'' and some decent power and looks, the remap will i am sure make a difference!! and the springs may stop abit of the body roll too, even my 12yr old commented on the body roll lol. Overall i think its 'a fantastic well equipped car and i think more owners of other car brands should try them, they dont know what they are missing. :love:

Hi everyone'' what are the overall opinions on the cr version vrs hatchback,, ie face lift version or the previous. I am looking at the moment at vrs's but cannot make my mind up between the two, i am looking for 09 onwards, would there be much difference in the equipment levels'' i prefere to have a 6 speed manual version. Regards.

Thanks for all the help,i think i'll go for fully synthetic, mind you i did use quantum silver in my vr6 which wasn't bad oil and a good price. Thanks again.

Afternoon, I have a 2004 vrs and i was wondering what oil will be best for the car as i do alot of town driving with regular stop starts 5w-30 or 10w-40. The car as done 43,500 miles and as been serviced every 10,000 miles by the dealership, i was thinking would it be best to change the oil every 5000 miles due to the town driving. Many thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, i will try to pull or drill them out i'm not taking the risk of sticking them on again, at least i know not to try and unscrew them now, as i thought not much was happening. many thanks.

HELLO, yes it is just spinning now ,i want to bolt the rear number plate surround on like i did on my mk3 golf, i,ve had the surround stuck on with the sticky pads because i struggled to undue them when i bought the car, but last night the surround fell off on my drive, i had 3 sticky pads on it as well:eek: the front ones are screwd on. I will buy the bolts when i get those rivnuttes out but they did loosen. can they come out.

First of all hello to everyone, I have a octavia vrs and i just want to know where the number plate fixes to the rear of the car there are to holes and they have a longish type bolt on the inside of the hatch does that just unscrew because mine as loosened but i think they are seased, i need to bolt on my plastic surround number plate holders, i'm worried about it in case i do damage, i may have to drill them out as the metal bits on the out side the hatch are rusty. many thanks btw great site.oh and iv'e tried the search:)
